The Canticle

I was only temporary

Written by Sean Carroll | Jul 1, 2024 2:45:00 PM

What is this place? 

If only I knew it was temporary 

Now all I see is temporary 

I can’t help but see rotting skin 

Broken hearts 

Deteriorating buildings 

 

The clock is just ticking 

For everything 

Does that not bother you? 

Knowing we are all just fulfilling lies and broken promises  

 

Sometimes I don’t know if I can do this 

It irks my soul 

It bothers me beyond belief  

Knowing I am only temporary  

But do I have to be? 

 

I need you to look in my eyes 

Tell me you love me 

Hold me like you'll never let go 

And 

Just maybe 

I’ll be forever
